[Vwdiesel] Any Oil Analysis for xW-30 in a Rabbit?

[Bryan K. Walton]

Thanks to Loren, Nick, and Stephen for your replies.  Indeed, the Rotella
10w-30 is CI-4.  I'll be sure to keep my nose alert for the smell of diesel
fuel in the oil (of course, the upcoming oil analysis should tell me that
also).  I'll be sure to let the list know the results of the oil
analysis.  I'm expecting the analysis to be less than optimal for
other reasons (the car needs a ring job, for starters).

Thanks again,
Bryan Walton
